About this Shrine

Located in the Echizen region of Shiga Prefecture, the Tsuda-no-Miya Shrine is dedicated to Tsudakaze-gami, a kami associated with wind and thunderstorms. The shrine's architecture reflects the Heian period style, with a characteristic curved roof and a large torii gate. While the exact date of its founding is unknown, it is believed to have been established during the Nara period.

Cultural Significance

Tsudakaze-gami is also associated with the wind that blows through the mountains, which is said to be a messenger of the kami. During the Echizen region's festivals, such as the Echizen Matsuri, visitors often participate in traditional games and competitions to test their skill and agility.
